They always use the word 'insult' with me, but I don't hurt anybody. I wouldn't be sitting here if I did. I make fun of everybody and exaggerate all our insecurities.

I don't really tell a joke, I react to situations. The whole thing is just looking at somebody and showing all our weaknesses and exaggerating them, and that's how it becomes funny.

In the old days, that was my ad-lib for hecklers in the joints I worked. It stuck with me. I hardly say it now, say, to fans, even though people do send me hockey pucks.

The old days were the old days. And they were great days. But now is now.

My father wasn't much for show business. He was an insurance man - very well-liked, very warm. He had a lot of friends.

Yeah, I make fun of blacks, and why not? I'm not a black.

My main success was an attitude. Always an attitude.
